When a Navajo teen is searching for lost treasures on a plateau north of Chaco Canyon, he discovers an artifact that infects him with the virus responsible for human vampirism. A team of archaeologists investigates the circumstances of what occurred, and unfortunately, the Navajo scientist, Dr. Zachary Hawk, becomes infected with the deadly malady. To escape the wrath of the government's Night Crawler Protocol, Hawk and a colleague flee to Mexico to avoid a sanctioned execution. When Hawk undergoes a violent transformation to become a human vampire, he joins forces with a band of ruthless children afflicted with the same disease who are terrorizing the community of Santa Sangre. Blake Barker continues his quest to find his kidnapped child in Mexico and Blake garnishes the enmity of the Mexican drug cartel seeking to capture a vampire for their own nefarious purposes. Sadly, Blake contracts a life threatening malignancy which may lead to his premature demise. Will Blake ever find his missing son? Remnants of the United States Army bio-weapon team which includes two vampires and two mercenary soldiers are reunited to rescue an American colonel amongst others who are held as prisoners of war in Mexico by the drug cartel. Their perilous interdiction into a foreign country will no doubt result in violent mayhem. Lorena Pastore is now the reigning queen of the last of the Maya race living in the Yucatan. Many of the Mayan are political refugees who escaped the four decade long civil war in Guatemala. Lorena authorizes a raiding party to capture a paramilitary war lord who has several vampire body guards. This war criminal was involved in the orchestrated genocide of Mayan people and he must now be brought to justice. The Brotherhood of the Bat is the third and final installment in the VAMPIRO TRILOGY where various individuals and factions are brought together to face an unknown ultimate fate!
Autorenporträt
A native of Houston, Donald W. Hill, MD, FACP, graduated from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, in 1978. After completing his medical school training at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston in 1982, Dr. Hill did his postgraduate training in internal medicine, hematology, and oncology at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque in 1987. At the time he cowrote this novel, Dr. Hill had completed over thirty years of medical practice that included working in multispecialty clinics, solo practice, and everything in between, including academia and clinical research. A fellow of the American College of Physicians, Dr. Hill is a published scholar, but Vampiro is only his second attempt at serial fiction after completing his groundbreaking masterpiece, The DNR Trilogy. Although he's now back on the mainland, Dr. Hill was living and working in Hawaii when he cowrote this novel. Dr. Hill has openly professed that he does not personally enjoy the genre of science fiction and, to be more specific, the subgenre of vampirism. During the time that this work of fiction was cowritten, the author often stated to anybody willing to listen that the possible existence of bloodthirsty ghouls was quite a disturbing concept. If there's such a thing as a vampiro that's indeed roaming some remote corner in the desert of the great American Southwest, Dr. Hill truly doesn't want to be privy to such a horrifying reality. Nonetheless, he accepted the challenge from Thomas Cavaretta to be a coauthor (as well as a coconspirator) to collaborate on this project. It was Dr. Hill's specific task to conjure up a plausible medical and scientific explanation for human vampirism from the perspective of a practicing hematologist/oncologist. If Dr. Hill was indeed successful in this endeavor, the reader will be the final arbiter to opine if this lofty goal was achieved. In the meantime, turn on the night light and make sure all the doors and windows are locked shut.
